PSP Threatened With Trojan Virus

Details have been released which detail the first trojan virus code in existance which threatens the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable).

The Format.A trojan, first detected on the 4th October 2005, presents itself as a tool for running unsigned code on the PSP, but the actual payload attempts to delete files which are required for the correct functioning of the unit, and as a result, prohibits boot up.

Known Aliases: Format.A, PSP/Brick.A, PSP/Format.A, PSPbrick, Troj/PSPBrick-A, Trojan.PSP.Brick.a, TROJ_PSPBRICK.A

Format.A tries to removes the following files/locations from the device 'flash0':

\VSH\ETC\INDEX.DAT \KD\LOADCORE.PRX \KD\LOADEXEC.PRX \KD\INIT.PRX

Format.A is 3,848 bytes in size.
